I began quilting when our son died, and I had spent the past 2 years loving and nursing him. I needed something to fill the void keep my hands and my mind busy and be productive.
After the first 2 or 3 quilts I was hooked (or should I say 'stitched into' quilting. ( I love fishing too)
I've no idea how many quilts I've made so far. I've kept two quilts and have used the others as gifts, or for Quilts of Valor and community service.
Just love quilting and crafts. Unfortunately, as I age, I find time goes by
faster and I work slower.
I love bead crafts, and make beads out of white and sweet potato's, lapel pins out of cotton pods. I also play around with Fimo and Sculpy. I can
make jewelry to match or compliment my clothes, and find it Fun.
